Hey how did you cure your mj mine after 3 days is still wet I put them outside to dry then I felt them getting dry then I put them in the cure jar, Then they went back damp should I leave them in the cure jar or take them out and let them fully dry then cure?
Mine also smell like wood will the smell come back?
Yo.... I live in a super-dry climate, so 3-4 days here has proven to be plenty of time for drying. I have them in a spare bathroom with the ventilation fan running at night as well as a small fan blowing in the room to keep the air circulating (but not pointed directly at the hanging plants since that causes them to dry too fast).
That takes them to a semi-dry state as they then go into my curing jars up in my dark cupboard. The llids stay open slightly for the first day or so, then I seal them up and check them every few hours the first day thier closed, letting out the moisture (you can see the fog build-up on the inside of the jars) and rotating the mj to keep it drying evenly. Once you've done this and the jars stay clear when closed, they sit in the dark cupboard curing for another 2-3 weeks. As the weeks go by I notice they smell less 'green' and start to show more uniqueness. This past grow I used a flushing solution called 'Final Phase' from AN which seems to have worked really well giving a better quality product all around (smells nicer, smokes smoother and tastier, lasts longer in the jars). After they've cured for about 4-5 weeks, they get bagged and placed into the fridge-freezer to keep them fresh.
One more little tip: I've always kept each of my plants separate from each other (I give them all names) from seed to smoke. All plants are unique, even those of the same strain, and when doing small grows (1-10 plants at a time), it's worth keeping each one seperate to really get a wide range of results from one strain. I've noticed certain plants that cure better or 'sweeter' than other plants of the same strain. This actually gives some plants a 'personality' of sorts and as they're enjoyed, we refer to them by name. =)
